1.3.3. The right flap

The right flap has tabs called Resources, Changes, Library, and Book Extras.

The resources tab

The resources tab lists all the resources in the selected book. There are two palettes, titled Resources and Detail View:

The resources palette lists all resources in the current book; they can be filtered by media type by clicking one of the buttons at the top of the palette to select a media type. From left to right, these buttons filter text, images, audio, video, PDFs, and HTML. If you click the checkbox labeled "Advanced" at the bottom of the palette, you'll also see Sophie objects, like frames, pages, and books.

Detail View shows information on the resource currently selected in the resources palette. If a preview for the resources can be shown, it will be. (In the screenshot above, a thumbnail is shown of the image). The two buttons at the top of the palette allow you to import and export resources. If you click the import button, you'll be prompted to select a resource to import into your current book; you can also select a folder of resources. These resources will be imported, like using the Insert menu; however, the resources will not be added to the current page. If you click the export button, the currently selected resource will be exported. Currently, resources are exported in Sophie 2's internal format, which can be imported by other Sophie books; this will change in the future.

The changes tab

The changes tab, which contains a single palette, lists all actions that have been performed in Sophie. At this stage in development, this is only useful to developers; eventually, this will useful to the user. Currently you can undo any item listed in this tab.

The library tab

The library tab contains three palettes: Frame Templates, Page Templates, and Book Templates. The frame templates palette lists all saved frame templates in the current book; the page templates palette lists all saved page templates. The book templates palette lists all currently installed book templates. When a frame or a page is selected, double-clicking a frame template or a page template will apply that frame template or page template to the frame or page. Double-clicking a book template will create a new book using that book template.

The book extras tab

The book extras tab contains the All Annotations and Stickies palettes. It looks like this:

The all annotations palette is for the creation and management of annotation sets. Annotation sets are groups of annotations which can be imported and exported from Sophie; a single book can have several sets of annotations, which can be shown or hidden. This palette lists all annotation sets in the current book. The row of buttons across the top of the palette allows control of the annotation sets. The button button creates a new annotation set; a new annotation set is also created if you add a sticky to the book when no annotation set has previously been created. The second button allows you to import a set of previously saved annotations; the third button allows you to export the current set of annotations to a file. The fourth button allows you to show or hide the currently selected annotation set, and clicking the fifth button will close the currently selected annotation set.

The stickies palette allows the creation of new sticky notes on the current page of the book: click New Sticky to create a new sticky.

See Working with annotations for more information about how annotations work.
